About 70,000 glass beads from all around the world have been found on an island off Georgia. It's the largest 17th century bead repository ever found at what is believed to be one of the Spanish empire's most remote and wealth outposts.

The beads, made of French and Chinese blue glass, Dutch layered glass and Baltic amber, were discovered as part of a continuing research project at the former Mission Santa Catalina de Gaule on what is now known as St. Catherine's Island off the coast of Georgia. The site, founded in the 16th century, was the capital and administrative center for the province of Guale in Spanish Florida for almost a century, according to a statement from the American Museum of Natural History.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Tuesday announced it has broken up a car theft syndicate that has stolen 1,000 cars in Florida worth $25 million over 20 years.

The ring specializes in car-cloning, wherein stolen vehicles assume the identity of non-stolen legally owned vehicles of similar make and model, Steven Ibison, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Tampa Division, told WTSP.com. Some of the stolen cars were allowed by their owners to be stolen because they could not pay for it or were exchanged for drugs, according to Ibison.
